Hi Brian, big thanks for all you do to help people learn how to fly fish! I’m new to fly fishing and was having some trouble getting fish on the hook. I’m happy to report I just watched this video over lunch and after while out fishing was able to land three brown trout in Scotland!! My first ever. Many thanks!!

Great info was actually just thinking about this, on another note was wondering if could do tying video on swimming jimmy, you guys talk about this fly alot, and also can you fish it with floating line if cant afford sink tips, and when fishing it how do you work the fly, aka stripping it in, also if are still missing the fish when fly fishing and have your finger already on line like you said, then what could i be doing wrong, am i not setting the hook quick enough, aka putting rod tip to side, or do you tug line as put rod tip to side to set hook, also i usually do not fish in stream with current , usually its pond and no stream,i am pretty decent at fly tying everyone says looks better than the flys they buy, but suck at fly fishing cannot seem to catch anything but tiny pan fish, which are the easiest to catch anyways
